[The Madcap]

So I was diagnosed with Cyclothymia. I notice that certain songs define my different episodes. On a Plain or lithium by Nirvana somehow describe how I feel when I’m going through a hypomanic episode. I feel euphoric and filled with grandiose, and I even imagine the song in my head when I’m going through an episode, one draw back is I get very easily irritable during an episode and the crash is terrible. I’ll either go back to normal or I go from feeling super creative and motivated to losing interest in stuff I useally love doing, I feel unmotivated and my self esteem is terrible and I end up getting depressed and the song hurt by Nine Inch Nails really defines my depressive episodes.

I have the same disorder. If you like classical music, Schumann had bipolar disorder and died in an insane asylum. His music reflects this.

Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie reflects my depressive states, in a weird way. Staying "clean" relating to my binging and purging. I feel Symphony in Blue by Kate Bush, Karma Police by Radiohead, and Bleed Like Me by Garbage are most indicative. I like Lithium by Nirvana quite a bit.

I spent a lot of my time looking at blue,
The color of my room and my mood:
Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth;
The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out,
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about.
When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in,
Go blowing my mind on God:
The light in the dark, with the neon arms,
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms,
The head of the good soul department.

I have only had one episode 7 years ago, but as I was evacuating from the fire I had the Indiana Jones theme song running through my head...that defined how I felt driving through the fire...after the fire...Cam's "Burning House" defined how I felt losing my coworker who died in the fire...like how I wanted to rescue her. "Fire on the Mountain" by Rob Thomas defined the anger I felt about the Nixle that was never sent that could have given me time to collect my cats and my belongings. "Unwell" by Matchbox Twenty defines how I feel inside trying to hold my sanity.
